Asimov is always a good read, including when he's explaining things.He writes fact as good as he writes fiction. This excellent 1977 offering is one of many excellent essay collections that Asimov has produced. While meticulously accurate almost all the time Dr Asimov's essay about the impending man caused ice age provides some interesting hisorical perspective on current climate arguments.
